Sunday talk show tip sheet

As U.S. foreign policy pivots from the nuclear arms deal with the Russians to sanctions to thwart Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the White House sends its big foreign policy guns to this Sunday's television talk shows: Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are appearing on CBS’s “ Face the Nation,” NBC’s “ Meet the Press” and ABC’s “This Week.”

Other guests on NBC include Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Sen. Jeff Sessions, the committee's ranking Republican, just days after Justice John Paul Stevens announced he's retiring from the Supreme Court this summer.
